#### Project Details
Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript run-time environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser. Typically, JavaScript is used primarily for client-side scripting, in which scripts written in JavaScript are embedded in a webpage's HTML and run client-side by a JavaScript engine in the user's web browser. Node.js lets developers use JavaScript to write Command Line tools and for server-side scripting—running scripts server-side to produce dynamic web page content before the page is sent to the user's web browser. Consequently, Node.js represents a "JavaScript everywhere" paradigm, unifying web application development around a single programming language, rather than different languages for server side and client side scripts.
Node.js® is a JavaScript runtime built on Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine and it can already run on Windows, Linux, OS X, Sun OS, and the list goes on.
Also, I should note that Node.js is around 1 million words. Yeah! I need moar! MOAAAAR! *(Or a MOAB [Mother of all Bombs], to end this xD ) *

This is the second part! One step closer to the end, and I'm about to break! It'll take me 5.5 years to complete this translation, as I've said in the first contribution. Κλαίνε και οι ρέγγες as we say in Greek (meaning "The herrings are crying (of laughter)")

#### Project Overview
As I've already told you, Node.js is a little bit over 1 million words. There were little-to-none translated strings, and they are all in the `_toc.md` file. I'm not going to touch this, until the end (*yeap, in half a decade*). The project is actually much tougher than I thought, and I'm using all the help I can, from Greek textbooks about programming etc. You see, even though I am a developer, in College we were not taught ***all*** the Greek terms (as they are mostly Stupid & Idiotic), but other classes did learn them.

I'll stop boring you with these for now. Let's get on with the specifics of this contribution.
#### Languages
The project is being translated from English to Greek. I'm a native Greek and because of my job (programmer) English is a "must learn" language.
#### In this session
In this part, I started working on `http.md`. It is 7033 words long, with many code blocks that won't be entirely translated. I'm not counting the code blocks in my translations. Actually, I'm leaving those blocks for after I reach 1200+ words of each contribution, so the exact wordcount is bigger than I mention (usually 20-30 more words than mentioned, however it's a burden to count them so I leave them out).
#### Word Count
I translated 1281 words from `http.md`, minus an estimated 10% for duplicates and untranslated words, which brings us to ~1152 words, for a total of 4232 words out of 1.048.272 words. All numbers were rounded to the nearest integer (as you obviously can't translate 724.24 words).
This brings Node.js to a whooping.. 0%, while `http.md` is now 41% ready (the latter sounds more promising)

#### tl;dr version
Node.js is a huge project, both in how much value brings to the Web Development word, and also in how LARGE it actually is. I started working on the file `http.md`.
I have translated 1281 words (-10% for duplicates and untranslated words = ~1152 words) for a total of 4232 words out of 1.048.272 words. This brings the Node.js translation to a level of 0% (hell yeah!), and `http.md` to 41%.
The translated words for this part (1281,) does not include the translated comments of the code blocks. It's a burden to do that, and I'm leaving them out, so the actual translated wordcount would be 20-30 more words.

This was the 2nd part of the Node.js project you are currently (and as it seems for a looooong time) working on.

The second part of the *http.md* file was more demanding than the first one. A lot of strings were difficult to translate, because the Greek terms are not so widespread *(I guess because the Greek equivalent sounds lame and silly)*. Despite all that, your translation was again very good with only minor errors (for example you forgot to remove the ending -s of the word *sockets* as when we decide to keep the English term in some cases, we use the singular form in all cases). Other than that though, your translation was accurate and your language and writing style were correct and fitting to the project.
Your contribution post is a piece of art. I do enjoy a great comedy show every now and then and this post combined work with entertainment! Keep up with this humorous style, I like it, since you are not “all play and no work”, but you put a lot of effort (and gray matter) into your translations.
Well done mister LM!
